Comedy EN ↓ 312 episodes

Bridger Winegar 30.06.2022

With the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, the guys kick things off on a unsurprisingly dour note, but not without a healthy reminder that when the mid-terms arrive, we all have TWO options in the words of P.

Happy 200th episode! The guys celebrate the milestone with more listener Q&A because who needs guests anyway? (JK ALL ARE WELCOME HERE!!!) Plus, no kink at Pride?

John Roberts 05.05.2022

We're joined this week by John Roberts (no, not THAT John Roberts), the voice of Linda Belcher on Bob's Burgers. We gab about New Jersey, our moms and Christmas trees. Timely! First up, the guys discuss the explosion in popularity of male lingerie...even though Brent remains skeptical that it's ACTUALLY a trend (and yes, Alan was offended!). Either way, there IS a short discussion about John Goodm...

Benito "Benny Drama" Skinner 07.04.2022

Chelcie Lynn (aka Tammy Bangs) & Clayton Farris 31.03.2022
